***Melissa's POV***I stood in front of two ladies. One looked as old as Emilia while the other was as young as I am, though I could tell that she's not as young as I think she is. To worsen it, she's the one carried my child who is now quiet. I wonder if he's doing okay by being silent, or if they used some kind of dark spell to keep him shut. “I'm here now, please give me back my child.”The ladies both looked at one another and laughed out hysterically. “Mother, she's such a naive one. Who would have thought that she'll really come to us so easily.”“Don't talk like that child. She's a mother, so it's only natural that she would do everything to save her child, and this is one thing we lack.”“You're right now. And that is why we must break this goddess forsaken curse!”The moment they mentioned the curse, I was reminded of what Emilia had told me earlier about the curse my grandmother had laid on them. “The curse, huh? I know about this curse. But then, my child has got nothing
**Alpha Xavier's POV***I've searched the woods for two days, yet there was no sign of a single witch. I was beginning to doubt whether what Badmos gave me was effective or not. Of course, it has to be effective. I had to find my child, but I don't even know where to search anymore. “Alpha, Xavier, I'm not sure if we'll be able to find your son this way. I think what we need is a powerful watch who knows the terrain. The orb is probably broken or ineffective.”“I thought so too,” I muttered. “Why don't we go back to the coven to see how things were in the coven?”“No, I can't!”“What? Why not?” Drake asked in surprise. “Listen, I promised my Luna that I was never coming back until I could bring my child with me.”"Of course I was there when you said that, but at this point, you also know that there's no way we can find your son. He's an Infant, where do we even begin to search for an infant.”“My child isn't whom I'm looking for, but the bitch who took my son.”“But there's no such
***Alpha Xavier's POV***Just as I was about to join them to cast the spell, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart, which made me stagger backwards. “Argh!” I heard someone scream, to my shock, it was Arnold. He held on to his chest just like I did. “Arnold, Xavier, what's going on. Why do you both feel the same pain at once?” Emilia asked, confused. “I have no idea, Emilia.”They probably do not know since we are of different tribes, but I know very well what this means. “We need to hurry with whatever spell week is about to carry out. Melissa is in danger. She must have been hurt,” I said in panic. I sat next to Arnold. At this point, I can't afford to hold whatever grudge I have against since we both have one common goal, and that is to find Melissa as soon as possible.I shut my eyes and let Emilia cast the spell, just as she had said she would. In no time, I found myself in the woods. I looked around, but I was alone. Where were Emilia and Arnold? Just then, I realized
***Melissa's POV***“Argh!” I screamed out in pain as the young witch continued to cast her spell. Presently, I had shifted back into my human form as I couldn't bear the immense pain from the burning I felt on my back. Just then, I heard my child scream out. I quickly turned around to see my child who was crying non-stop. If it were to be in another situation, I would have been annoyed at the fact that my child was crying so hard. But currently, I felt relieved that my child was crying because it was an indication that he was alive. The cries of my child suddenly gave me the strength I thought had been drained by the witch. “You think I'm going to let you win? Never!”I struggled to stand up on my feet while the Witch continued to cast her incantations. I wasn't concerned about what she was doing at that moment. Rather, what I was more concerned about was the fact that I had to escape from this coven after finishing off their witch. With the little power left in me, I shit my ey
***Melissa's POV***Arnold staggered backwards as he was stabbed. The knife she used was purely made of dark magic. That very instant, I noticed Arnold going pale. “No!” I screamed out in anger at what happened right in front of me. Just then, I force pulled me up from the floor and I couldn't tell how I did it but the next thing I knew, I was standing right in front of the witch whose hands had become bloody with my mate's blood. I gripped her on the neck and pulled her up. “How dare you put a finger on my mate! I swear, I'll never forgive you. You must pay with your life for what you've done to my mate!”That's all it took for me to snap her neck. When I realized the witch had finally been killed, I tossed her to the ground and turned around towards my mate, who was now lying helplessly on the floor with Xavier by his side. Seeing my mate struggling for his life made my heart ache terribly. I felt like I was going to die from the pain. I managed to carry myself to his side. “
Melissa povI sat on the floor in my room, looking out of the completely open window at the enormous wad of light overhead. Heavy clouds covered the sky as another stormy night fell.My room was illuminated by the flashing thunderbolts’ light as the wind shook the windows.I listened as the distant howls subsided under the full moon. I should have turned with the other Werewolves in the pack, but I was an extraordinary Werewolf. I had power and control over my shifting at any time.I looked sideways as the door of my room flung open and I saw my sister Jasmine stand in the door and gazing at me hatefully. She was holding a candle and a bowl. She strolled into the room and dropped the two of them on a table.Because I knew what she had come to do, I got up. I tried to defend myself as she approached me, but I felt an invisible force push me onto the bed.Jasmine used some dark arts she learned from a witch to take away my power every full moon because I was powerful. I cried as I tried
Melissa pov I awoke to a pounding headache and slowly opened my eyes. I glanced around and saw that I was lying on my bed in my room.With gritted teeth, I placed my palm on my aching forehead. I noticed that it was already evening when I glanced at the wall clock.When I looked at myself, I saw that my coffee-stained cloth had already been changed, and my face was still hurting from the coffee.I was extremely hungry, and my stomach was rumbling and aching. I saw the door open, and Jasmine walked into the room with a tray in her hand. In frustration, I signed internally. I was too weak to deal with her problems.I wondered what clever scheme she had planned this time as I examined the tray in her hand. I felt the sweet scent of food hit my nose and I felt the hunger I felt increase. Did she hold that food?Jasmine dropped the tray on the bed in front of me and said, “You fainted and I was so scared that something bad might happen to you.”I took a look at the food on the tray’s pl
Melissa povWhat have I done again?His eyes were filled with rage as he entered the kitchen. As soon as they stopped talking, everyone in the kitchen stopped working.With a piercing gaze and a disgusted expression, he glared at me.“What do you have on?” As he looked at my drenched and soiled dress, which had been soiled by Jasmine, he asked in a high voice.I mumbled in fear, “I…..I’m……..” not knowing what to say to him.“You’re participating in the general pack contest, which will be held shortly!” I flinched in fear when he yelled, thinking back to what Isabel had told me.In this condition, how could I even consider fighting!“You won’t embarrass this family by being late!” He yelled in rage and hurriedly pointed at the ground.“I had no idea,” I said and right away, he swung his hand at me and hit me in the face with the rear of his palm.I nearly slipped on the smooth marble floor and yelled in pain, but I held onto the sink behind me.“Never talk back at me!” He hollered at me

**Badmos POV**While in bed, I couldn't sleep because I realized that this wasn't the best way to protect Melissa. I promised Xavier that I was going to watch over her, and the best way I could actually do that is by staying by her side if I have to. This is the only way for her me to fully keep an eye on her. I quickly rolled out of bed and headed to her room. But before then, I stopped at Emilia's. I knocked light in Emilia's door and in a few seconds, Emilia got the door. “Badmos, you're still awake.”“Couldn't sleep. With my grandson missing and Melissa in the terrible state she's in, I can't leave her in such a state, you know.”“You're right. I checked on her a few minutes ago. I think we should both check on her again, just to be certain she's okay.”Emilia and I both went to her door. But then, Emilia both noticed something strange, and that was the lack of a presence in the room. We could both feel it from where she stood. Emilia and I both exchanged quick glances before
**Melissa's POV***Even though I saw no wisps on the way, that didn't stop me from forging her head. I had the belief that no matter what, I'll find my child. After walking for almost an hour without knowing where I was headed, I suddenly noticed a bright light ahead of me. What is that? I increased my walking speed. I couldn't shift into my wolf, as I was too weak to do so. And since I'll be meeting a witch, then I'll have to retain my human form to fight if I have to. My wolf cannot save me from her spell, and I cannot carry out the spell I know as well. The more I walked over to the lights, the farther it looked. This is confusing. How can there be a bright light in the woods that is unattainable . Still, I didn't give up. The will to save my child is way stronger than any thought about giving up. I definitely cannot give up now, I don't care where my child is right now. All I know is that I must save my child as soon as possible.After walking for what seemed like hours, I fina
***Melissa's POV***I could hardly sleep when nightfall came. I worry about my child and my mates. I wonder whether they were doing okay or not. What if something bad had happened to them? Worst still, what if the Witches are more powerful than Xavier and Arnold? Doesn't this mean I'll lose everyone?I tossed in my bed with so much worry in my heart. The door to my room flew open and Emilia showed up. “It's as if I knew you wouldn't be sleeping by this time. “I can't sleep. I'm just too worried, we've tried all the tracking spells we know, but we still can't find them. Doesn't this mean they are more powerful than we are?”“Not at all. They are not as powerful as we are. The only reason it looks difficult to get them is their possession of dark magic. If not for the dark magic they possess, I can assure you that you'll surely get to them. They know they'll be caught, that's why they used the dark spell.”“Can't we use the dark spell too. I mean, since it has come to this point, don'
***Alpha Xavier's POV***“Your child is missing. I have seen it in my visions since three days ago.”That made me stagger backwards. “Wait a minute, I don't think I heard you correctly. What do you mean by my child has gone missing? “ How can he go missing just like that?“I'm sorry, this is hard for you to accept, but I can't lie to you about something like this, you know.”“I still don't get it. Why is my child missing? What happened to my child?” I demanded in rage. “Xavier, calm down. Your child is not dead yet. He's only missing. Presently, your Luna needs you most. Please hurry over to her side.”As soon as Alana said the last words, I bolted out of her room and headed straight to the witch's coven. “Alpha, where are you headed in such a hurry?”Drake asked as he saw me heading out of the pack house. I quickly turned around to face him. “Drake, you must take care of pack matters until my return. I need to attend to something pretty urgent.”“Why do you look panicked? Why don
